I don't know if the concept has been studied so specifically. <br /><br />You are also correct about the quality of debate put forward on CNN. I find the same level of problem on MSNBC from time to time. <br /><br />I've also noticed that on both networks, when the Conservative guest has the debate won the liberal host and guest tend to gang up on them and start personal attacks and red herrings go flying, as was evident in that Chris Matthews clip I posted the other day.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-23350857026829796122009-10-25T17:38:13.346-07:002009-10-25T17:38:13.346-07:00Professor..

I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure what point you were making, but I'll agree with what Kid said about there being little problem for the 'D' party finding voters. <br /><br />Sadly they have a message that is more easy to accept, and by nature people will look for an easy path. Combine these thoughts and it is not surprising that liberalism is so pervasive.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-87690934297983372132009-10-25T17:21:00.559-07:002009-10-25T17:21:00.559-07:00Hazaa - the irony is what killed me as I watched h...Hazaa - the irony is what killed me as I watched her show, and therefore what I tried to display in this post. <br /><br />However.. unless I misunderstood you - FNC didn't 'create' the tea parties. From what I remember, Glenn Beck had a show in March where people gathered across the country, and he introduced what he called the '9-12 project' and started a website. About month before that, Rick Santelli on CNBC <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA" rel="nofollow">went on a rant</a> about the Obama plan to subsidize losing mortgages, and during that show he talked about a 'Chicago Tea Party in July.' <br /><br />FNC was just the one news outlet willing to see the tea parties for what they really were, which was people expressing legitimate concerns about an out of control government.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-24316480815498639172009-10-25T17:13:41.964-07:002009-10-25T17:13:41.964-07:00Meadow...

Specifically in this post I was focused on MSNBC, but there's no doubt whatsoever that CNN is guilty of bias as well.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-19077197259121576422009-10-25T17:01:33.915-07:002009-10-25T17:01:33.915-07:00Tammy - currently I agree.

Plus... he did do a lot of good things, and I'm yet to see one thing Obama's done good for America.

I talk to them all the time. No problemo as far as they are concerned.<br /><br />Soloman - Just a quick note. When the state run media scores itself on positive -negative / Democrat - Republican, how many of the positive McCain offerings came out in prime time versus non-prime time when very few would be exposed to it.<br /><br />CNN touts itself as having a balanced mix, but from what I can see they balance themselves off-prime.<br />Plus they get some ringer dolt to pretend he/she speaks for the right and sure enough crys uncle every time when they have their pretend fair and balanced debate.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-78069479747385565512009-10-25T14:24:20.421-07:002009-10-25T14:24:20.421-07:00The damage is done, merely with the original consi...The damage is done, merely with the original consideration of such an imbecilic act of "investigation" and its announcement.
